Here’s an overview of what you can expect from the breast lift surgery process:

Consultation & Personalization

At your consultation, you’ll discuss your concerns and aspirations with Dr. Murphy and work together to tailor your procedure to achieve your desired results.

We offer VECTRA 3D imaging as an innovative tool for visualizing the potential of your plastic surgery transformation and empowering you to communicate your aesthetic goals more effectively. VECTRA’s advanced technology captures multiple high-resolution images of your appearance before surgery. Then, it creates detailed 3D simulations of how you might look after surgery. These images can showcase various surgical options and angles, allowing you to see highly accurate representations of your surgical results. The process takes only a few minutes, so you can review and discuss your results with Dr. Murphy during your consultation to make the most informed decisions about your treatment.  

Tailored Surgical Approach

The technique selected for your breast lift is determined by your goals and the extent of change you desire:

• Crescent Lift: This method involves minimal lifting by making a semicircular incision above the areola. It is often selected for patients who require only slight adjustments.
• Donut Lift: More comprehensive than the crescent method, this technique involves a single incision around the areola.
• Short Scar Technique: Minimizes scarring by limiting the length of the incisions. It’s typically best for patients who are particularly concerned about visible scarring post-surgery.
• Lollipop Incision: Suitable for moderate lifts, this approach includes an incision around the areola and another running vertically down to the breast crease, enabling more significant reshaping.
• Anchor-Shaped Incision: Ideal for extensive lifting and reshaping, this technique uses three incisions: around the areola, vertically down from the breast crease, and along the breast crease. It’s a good option for patients with considerable sagging.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery after a breast lift varies, but most patients resume their everyday activities within a few days to a week. Dr. Murphy and his team will provide detailed aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery. These guidelines will cover how to care for your incisions, manage any discomfort, and when to resume certain activities. Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure you’re on track to achieving the best results.
